The beach has changed so much over the past 5 years.

The beach has changed so much over the past 5 years. There is no longer sightings of planes taking off, only landing. Seats are now charged RM10 for those near the beach, how absurd! Things used to be free and there were coconut stalls selling coconut for RM5 each! No longer the same story now. All contaminated by the vermin and bloodsuckers!

Good location for snorkeling and fishing trips. Lovely islands to visit fir swimming. Easy access with the ferries. Best place for western pub food and glass of cold wine was Shoneys bar and grill Best island for snorkeling was Mengalum but one and half hours by boat.

Some great places to eat. Everyone is very friendly. Traffic is a nightmare. The Night Market is very popular and well worth a visit (I went 3 times). Everything you need is within a 5 minute walk of the hotel.

Kinarut is a stop on only railway in Borneo.

Kinarut is a stop on only railway in Borneo. We took the train at 7:45am southbound from Tanjung Aru station. Can also be reached easily via GRAB from BKI, KK's international airport: 15 - 20 minutes. Kinarut was the location for a refugee camp for Vietnamese boat people in the 1970s. After the Vietnamese were relocated to USA and elsewhere, local refugees [Philippines; Indonesia] filled the camp. Area has a reputation for poverty, but we did not witness the camp. Strip of beach has a number of resorts which offer a variety of price points and services - all quite affordable.

Kota Kinabalu is a beautiful city with amazing waterfront views, friendly locals, and plenty of nice cafes and seafood restaurants. It’s a great place to relax and explore nature. However, I found the food prices to be higher than expected — generally pricier than in Penang or Kuala Lumpur. Other than that, it was an enjoyable trip and I’d love to visit again someday.

An amazing location - wonderful views over the bay from our very nice room. We loved seeing the monkeys, hornbills, monitor lizards and geckos. The staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed spending time at the simple private beach a short boat ride away. Make sure you arrive at Jesselton Point at least an hour before your speedboat leaves as they check you in there and it can take ages. Evening dining is either a fish restaurant, a Japanese restaurant or a bewilderingly large buffet.

It is an exotic city, offer many experience, it was nice to have the blend of a city but yet you can watch the fishing boats coming back to shore from their catch and visitors taking speed boats to island opposite KK, if you unit is sea facing, you can see this at your balcony while sipping away coffee,teas, fruit juice or even beers
